DETROIT — Rear Seat Reminder, an industry-first feature designed to remind drivers to check the back seat as they exit their vehicles under certain circumstances, will be offered across many Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles by the 2018 model year.

The system monitors rear door usage to remind drivers to check their rear seats before walking away from their vehicles.

Looking for Rear Seat Reminder?

“GM’s Rear Seat Reminder feature is an initial step to use technology to help remind drivers to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle under certain conditions,” said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety. “We want to help everyone to take one simple, extra step. That’s why Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will offer the Rear Seat Reminder on a broad range of vehicles, from small cars to full-size SUVs and everything in between.”

Thirty-nine children died from heatstroke this year as result of being left in vehicles or gaining access to an unattended vehicle, a 60 percent increase over last year’s figure.

Rear Seat Reminder debuted earlier this year on the all-new 2017 GMC Acadia. Models to offer the feature include those listed below as well as some 2018 vehicles models that will be announced at a later date:

2017 Buick Lacrosse

2017 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV

2017 Cadillac CT6

2017 Chevrolet Cruze and Cruze Hatchback

2017 Chevrolet Malibu

2017 Chevrolet Tahoe

2017 Chevrolet Suburban

2017 Chevrolet Silverado

2017 Chevrolet Colorado

2017 GMC Yukon

2017 GMC Yukon XL

2017 GMC Sierra

2017 GMC Canyon

2018 Cadillac XT5

2018 Cadillac CTS and CTS-V

2018 Cadillac ATS

2018 Chevrolet Equinox

The Rear Seat Reminder works by monitoring the vehicle’s rear doors. The feature is intended to activate when either rear door is opened and closed up to 10 minutes before the vehicle is started or while the vehicle is running. Once the system is activated, the vehicle is designed to sound five chimes and display a message in the driver information center that reads “Rear Seat Reminder / Look in Rear Seat” the next time the vehicle is turned off.

“This new technology developed by General Motors will give busy parents and caregivers the important reminder to always check the back seat,” said Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. “The safest way to protect a child from heatstroke is to never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, and features like Rear Seat Reminder, coupled with continued public education, can help combat this preventable tragedy.”

The feature cannot actually detect items in the back seat, so it is always important to check the rear seat prior to exiting the vehicle.

Clients that like to drive something new every few years or so generally prefer leasing because it’s so easy.

2: When your lease is over you just walk away. No trade-in hassle. There is a $350 disposition fees but that is usually waived if you re-lease or purchase another Chevy.

3: You have no maintenance headaches. Your vehicle is under warranty pretty much the entire time of your lease. And, 4 free oil changes are includes at no additional charge. You could actually lease a new Chevy for 24 months and pay ZERO in maintenance during that time.

4: Clients get to drive something new all the time. It’s kind of like waiting for the latest smartphone. No one wants to wait for the latest and greatest. Why wait for all the newest features when you can get something new every few years?

5: Lease Loyalty. GM often offers additional incentives to those folks that are currently in a GM lease to encourage them to re-lease. Hey, extra rebate money is always good, right?
